WORTH IT$3,000
The Upper Eye Lift procedure was easier than expected. After the doctor numbed my lids with Lidocaine, I felt nothing throughout. Later in the day after the procedure I took 2 Tylenol with no oral meds since. I iced my eyelids regularly during the first 48 hours. Swelling has gone down daily since. I have some bruising under my eyes. Day 4 and my eyes look younger already!

Daily improvements

My eyes are steadily improving. I have a little discoloration under my eyes but otherwise the swelling and redness is subsiding. So far I'm pretty happy! Waiting for everything to settle as I continue to heal.

Nine days Post op and there's no bruising and minimal scarring left. I still have a few bumps on my lids from the stitches but little evidence left of the surgery. I'm extremely pleased with the results! Well worth it. Thanks Dr Kapadia!

Thank you for documenting and sharing your healing progress. It's very helpful to see the open and closed eye photos juxtaposed daily like this. By the way, your results are fantastic. Congratulations!

I agree, your results are excellent! Have you had any kind of surgery before so that you know you heal quickly? I had ptosis surgery and it took a year for my crease to return but I know I heal slowly. It runs in my family.

Thank you! I haven't had anything else done before. My doctor did say that I healed quicker than most. I was diligent about after care as well - regular icing, sleeping upright, etc.

Thank you! You are inspiring me because you look so good. I think I need an eye lift in the near future but fear the recovery time since the ptosis surgery experience, that's why I asked. :)
